Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Tina worked there 9 hours a day for 17 days in October. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Tina for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.40
= $47
Duration that Tina worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the boutique paid Tina for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the boutique paid Tina per day
= 47 + 44
= $91
Amount that the boutique paid Tina for 17 days
= 17 x 91
= $1547
Answer(s): $1547
